Not caring about facts or truth is so on brand for the right. 

Crafting made up bullshit and forcing it through government control is so on brand for the left.

Then pissing down your leg about authoritarianism is the cherry on top.

A guy named David Chapman is giving out information on assassinations?  Let me guess the other name his parents considered was Mark.  This fucking simulation.  Mark's getting upset!

Righteous indignation being extremely on brand for the right.

Do you need a paper bag? Smelling salts? Are you feeling faint?

Whatabout!!!!!!

You invite whataboutism by trying to make a point that a certain characteristic is unique to one party, then shout whataboutism when confronted with the obvious truth that, if anything, that characteristic is the other party's "brand." Truly dizzying intellect you got there.

He went to Augustana College to work at a Ramada Inn?  That's a good school, lotsa friends of mine went there.  

I bet he doesn't even know who John Lennon was.

I hope we get forensic confirmation on whether or not Trump actually got hit by a bullet or a glass fragment which was reported earlier. 

Not sure why this matters, even IF (big if) it was glass from the teleprompter, it’s the bullet that caused the glass to projectile.  It’s a distinction without a difference. 

To me it looks like the shooters first shot, which would have been the best, that caught his ear, glass or no glass.

It’s the difference between being lucky or the luckiest person to have ever lived.

This country and the world at large are a tinderbox. I’m not looking forward to the next 4-6 months.

It was always going to go up in horrific flames. Always. We never had a chance of stopping it. When humanity is dead-set on wrecking its own shit, it can’t be stopped.

Well he lost my vote. The pussy gets his ear cut and has to practically be carried off the stage by eight women and three men.

That's weak!

Where were you when the prompter got broken

Can we talk about the political implications of this yet? He's going to get a 5 point bump in the polls plus the convention and VP-tick magnifying it. On the heals of broad recognition that Biden is likely to old to effectively run, probably serve, absent Biden dropping out and an inside straight from the democratic party, we should get ready for Dear Leader Dotard, no? For the record, my heart goes out to the family of the victim in PA and those injured, and reject political violence.

There will be zero implications.  Three weeks from now, it’ll be like it never happened.

That’s where I’m at.  I just can’t imagine there’s a large population of former Trump voters whose affection is re-ignited because of the attack.

Just to make sure I'm summarizing things correctly over the past couple of weeks: nothing Biden can do can hurt his chances, and nothing that happens to Trump can help his chances. Got it.

You know Trump's rhetoric and policies really make we worry about the next 4 years but then again Biden is old and Trump got shot at. I'll vote Trump!

If you were swayed by Trump almost dying to vote for him then you were always going to vote for him. 

That said, it's a long time until November. Say you're an independent who is leaning Trump after yesterday and you tune in to the Republican Convention, do you really think you're going to hear policy discussion and speeches that are going to validate your decision to go to Trump? If so, you were always going to vote for him.

And if you're someone who wasn't going to vote because you have zero faith in Biden but Trump and the right is just too radical? Now, "the left" is just as bad, just as violent, if not more so. The both sides heroes are going to milk the shit out of this.

I get it. It shouldn't matter. But imagine a world where Trump had all of his (limited) mental faculties fail him in a debate, and Biden defiantly survived an assassination attempt a week later against the contrast of his "too old, too weak" opponent.

We'd all be dancing in the street about an election that's effectively over.

And that would have been a mistake.

Reagan was the active President when he was shot. If Biden was the one it was attempted on that would be a much better example. And if it was a guy who had Republican leanings that tried to kill him, I think that speaks a lot larger volumes for how fucked up that side is. How does a kid on that side get radicalized to want to kill the leader of his party?

I'm sure we'll learn more in the next few weeks, but my guess is that he didn't particularly care about the politics and was more in it for fame like a lot of these lunatics.

They may have stayed home. 

The apathetic probable Biden voter has absolutely nothing to motivate them at this point.

The apathetic Trump voter just a major shot in the arm.

I acknowledge that we all know shit about fuck, but this can't all be just one big nothing.

i mean we don't know much but what we do know...he was a registered republican and a gun guy. not exactly a textbook from 'the left'.

One of the common guesses is he’s a true Q believer and the Epstein files might have pushed him over the edge

I 100% think that this will be the case. Just a nutjob looking to be famous in death, not a political revolutionary. Hopefully the facts of the case don't give a ton of room for alternative interpretation.

Yep, there was a concerted (and wise) effort by the Biden campaign and DNC to drill down on some milquetoast Trump voters in certain states so they'd just sit it out.  You're gonna get your straight ticket voters who'll pull from anybody from Trump to Tito Puente.  You're gonna get the ultra-luny MAGA base. The idea was to keep a few million in the middle of that bloc to stay home outta shame and frustration with Trump.  This just convinced a few million of 'em to get back into the fray after all.  As if Biden didn't have enough of balancing act, now he has to try to heal all sides while still seeming above the fray of insulting Trump's obvious flaws.  

There's a job for a surgeon of a surrogate in here somewhere who can still hammer home all the shit wrong with Trump, but without seeming too insensitive nor too close to Joe.  And that person will have to get comfortable looking over their shoulder for the next decade.  I don't envy them, but somebody's gotta step up.
